Fakerwiki is a library for local testing of Python ScraperWiki scripts. Mostly it’s just a copy of the ScraperWiki library with the database bits removed.
cd fakerwiki mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages fakerwiki pip install -r requirements.txt python setup.py install python your_script_name.py
You can also use ‘pip install fakerwiki’, but this obviously won’t build out your virtualenv with the standard scraperwiki packages from the requirements.txt in the repository.
